| My Great Grandfather Charles Gustav Bell was born in Bodo in 1859/1860. His parents were Charles Bell (Tinsmith) and Joanna Sophia or Sophia Christina Lungren. My GG married in Australia in 1885. He was a Master Mariner. I have his Marriage Certificate and his Death Certificate but have been unable to trace any birth details or his parents marriage details. I would also like to know when he emigrated to Sydney Australia and those particular details. I would appreciate any assistance I can be given. Thank you. |

The 1865 census for Bodø indicates that your Grat Grandfather was born in Sweden. Parents were Carl John Bergqvist and Christina Johanna Sundgren, see 1865.
The tinsmith Bergqvist family moved into Bodø in 1862, no indication where they came from, but reasonably from Sweden.
They had one son Peter Kristian Adolf who were born in Bodø, see #33.

Karls father has been named Karl Johan, Charl, and Charl S., but never Carl Frederik as in #32.

Probably this is Kristina Johanna Sundgren Bergqvist in 1910 census in Bodø, born 27 June 1823 in Falun, Sweden:
link,
In 1900 in Bodø she seems to be Johanna Barqvist born 1816 in Falun, Sweden, a widow.
No Carl with Kristine Johanna Bergqvist in 1885 (marital status not stated).

| Thank you so much to all of you wonderful people for your time, effort and kindness in following up my request for any possible information on my GG and his family. All this information you have given me in a few days and I have struggled for months trying to trace him. I shall enjoy digesting all of this material you have made available to me and putting it to good use. With warm regards, Barbara |
